What the heck is up with Tomoki Kyoda? I finally finished AO after all this time and the ending is just as big a troll as the ending of Eureka Seven was.

Ao gets nothing in the end. He could have gone with his parents because they specifically say he needed a Trapar-less environment to be BORN in, not to live in. He doesn't get any other girl because his childhood friend probably died young thanks to the scrub coral not being there to heal her body as a kid, and none of the others would even recognize him if they even still existed and were in the same time period. He doesn't even get to keep his robot. Yet the last scene has him smiling at the end. It actually gives us a better ending for Eureka Seven than it does for AO, how messed up is that.

This show's ending is quite disappointing indeed and not near the level of Eureka Seven that I actually enjoyed. In regarding to any romance at all, it was extremely weak and vague to the point I never noticed much of a connection between Ao and Naru. I wasn't fond of the antagonist of the show, Truth either....
